Democratic Clubs.

The young Democrats all over the
country are already organizing for
active work. Clubs have been formed
at Kansas City, Mo-, and at Marion,
Kan, within the past week. Much
more effective work can be done by
getting the young men to take an active
part in tie campaign. They soon
acquire the necessary experience to
make them good organizers, and they
are willing workers whenever interested.
BY organizing they become responsible
in manner for the success of the cam
paign, and the interest is bound to de-
velOp. The organizing and meeting to-
gether to plan and discuss the leading
issues is also a means of education, so
that when the young men become
middleaged, they are already schOOled
in all party issues. The interest taken
by young men and the plan of organ
iZing themselves into clubs should be
commended and encouraged. 1t is sure
to develop into mnch good for the party.
-OttdlCd Herald.
We would advise the young Demo
crats of Dickinson county to organize,
and to organize at once. The strength
of thorough organization cannot be
over estimated. Let the young Dem
Ocrats of this county form clubs in every
voting precinct and victory will reward
their labor.

B. z. Republicans.

Down in old Missouri, in Christian
county, where the notorious outlaws
known as Bald Knobbers held high
carnival, and under cover of the night
drove peaceable citizens from their
homes and shed innocent blod; down
in that old rebel state, rich in blood
split in defense of liberty, the middle
ground of contending armies during
the civil war; down in that old state
where society is said to be of low de-
gree and behind the age, the Bald
Knobbers held reign of terror and of
blood. Republicans in Kansas especi-
ally and no doubt in general would say
these bold, bad men are Democrats.
Of the sixteen held for murder, fifteen
are Republicans. Dave Walker con-
stantly wears a G.. A. r. badge in a
CONSPICUOUS place upon his breast.
His son wears a leaden ball in his leg,
received the night Green and Edens
were murdered. Ii these men were
only Democrats what grand and en-
tertaining rehash of rum and rebellion
these God and morality Republicans
jack snipes could have dished up to the
faithful followers of the G. o. p. One
of the gang, c. o. Simmons, claims to
be minister. AS he is Republican,
we are inclined to regard his claim to
the prefix of Rev. false, and his pre-
tensions to religion as the outgrowth of
fear for the hangman's rope or the con-
fines of the pen for the balance of his
natural life. The ruflians reflect no
discredit upon many members of their
party who claim to have more respect
for yellow dog than for Democrat.

Mr.. Ingalls, on Civil Service Reform.

The distinguished gentleman from
Kansas who is serving his third term
in the United States senate and who
has been chosen president pro tempore
of that body, has not done himself
credit in certain recent remarks uttered
in contempt of civil service reform.
The great majority of influential mem

nents of the spoils system and advo-
Gates of public service conducted on
business principles. When Mr.. In

In an article on President Cleveland's
proposed western trip the independent
New York Herald says: ''Mr. Cleve-
land will see what no president since
Mr.. Pierce could have seen-a united
country glad to welcome its chief mag
istrate wherever he gOes-the open
hand and the hearty welcome. Mr..
Cleveland represents the national SEN
timent as it has been seen in no ad-
ministration since the first years of Mr..
Pierce, before the repeal of the Missouri
compromise came with evil omen to
menace the Union. Mr.. Cleveland is
the President of the whole people.
There were no bayonets behind the
ballots which elected him; no reflected
bayonet power CLEANS in the authority
he Wields.''

Political leaders might as well under
stand once for all that the rule of the
''heeler'' is over; that party traditions
no longer bind men; that the thinker
is now the dominant political factor,
and that ignorant party fanaticism is a
thing of the past. The Democrats of
this state are now facing foe more
worthy of their steel than any that has
gone before. Argument must be met
by argument. Live issues must be
discussed. Practical measures must
be proposed to relieve the people from
the burden of taxation they are now
laboring under.

In recent issue of his Troy CHIEF
Sol Miller compares Cleveland's pen
sion voters with those of Grants in the
following terse language: Brethren,
we know you are awful mad at Uncle
Cleveland for vetoing that dependent
pension bill, and that we grit our teeth
every time we think about it; but let
us remember in our anger that Presi-
dent Grant once vetoed a pension bill
intended to benefit all the old veterans,
with no more excuse for it than Cleve-
land had, and that he did it about the
same time that he approved bill
doubling his own salary. Grant was
soldier, who should have sympathiZed
with the soldiers Cleveland was not,
but belonged to party opposed to the
war. 1t is high treason to say anything
against Grant; but of the two vetOes
Cleveland's is entitled to the most
charity. "-Republican.

Two more rascals have been uncov-
cred at Washington, one pension
clerk and the other a claim agent.
Both are Republicans. one had been
dismissed from the Treasury Depart
ment under the late Republican admin
istration for crookedness, and the other
expected to be dismissed for pernicious
political activity when the present
Democratic administration came into
power but wasn't. The latter since
turned rascal and rewarded Democratic
leniency by assisting a claim agent to
steal.

wonderful things. He took up the
navy ring that had absorbed the mil

of acres of the public domain in Col

rich pastures as homes for settlers.
He restored to the public domain mil
lions of acres of lands that Republican

Our Candidates.

The Democrats of Dickinson county,
in convention assembled last Saturday,
nominated a worthy ticket, and a
ticket that ought to receive the hearty
support of not only every Democrat,
but Of the voters, irrespective of party,
in Dickinson county.
Henry Warner, candidate for county
treasurer, has resided in this county
for many years. Ills father, E. War
ner, was at one time member Of the
Legislature from this county. Henry
Warner has been a resident Of Enter
prise from its infancy; has been en-
gagged in different lines of business,
and has won an enviable name for be-
ing an honest, upright man. He was
cashier and stakeholder in the Enter
prise bank for several years. He is
worthy and well qualified in every re-
spect. Should he be successful, as
many predict that he will, he will fill
the Office with ability, and honor to
himself and constituents.
Henry Harnish, who was nominated
for the office of sheriff, is one of the
truest, sQuarest and best known men in
the county. That he has the ability 10
discharge the duties of the Office there
is no question. He is well known all
over Dickinson, and when the voters of
the county cast their votes for Henry
Harnish, they know that they are
voting for a man who will faithfully
discharge the duties of the office, with
out fear or favor. His personal pOpu-
larity will place him in the sheriffs
office.
J. II. Hoffman, better known as
Henry Hoffman, who received the
nomination for county clerk, is a ster-
ling young man, who is thoroughly
qualified in every respect to fill the
Office for which he aspires. He has
good education, is a fine penman, and
is young man of excellent judgment,
and has character above reproach.
At present, Mr.. Hoffman is engaged as
bookkeeper for The J. B. Ersham Ma
chine shops at Enterprise. Mr.. Hoff-
mans father, Leonard Hoffman, is
resident of Jefferson township, and is
one of our most worthy farmerr. J.
II. Hoffman should be elected.
Mrs. Genevieve Cowles, nominee for
Register of Deeds, has been resident
of this county for nearly ten years.
Mrs. Cowles has been married little |
over one year, and previous to that |
time she was earning an honest liveli- |
hood by working in different offices in
this city as a copyist. For several |
months she was employed in the regis
ter's Office and is thoroughly conversant
with all the duties of that office. Mrs.
Cowles is true lady in every sense of
the word, and if elected will make an
efficient, courteous and honest officer.
There is no one in the county better
qualified to accurately discharge the
duties of the office than Mrs. Cowles.
Henry w. Kandt, nominee for county
in the first district, who
has served the county so honestly, fear
Iessly and faithfully for the last three
years, needs no recommend from the
hands of any paper. Mr.. Kandt is well
known to all our citizens, and there has
never been a member of our county
board who has filed the Office with
more credit to himself and the interest
If our people than Mr.. Kandt. He viii
